Mutual aid is the best defence we have now. Start building networks now so you won't have to scramble later. As a side note, start learning sustainable living skills. Learn how to sew, preserve food, and grow vegetables. Learn how to purify and store potable water. Be ready to share.

That's my point here. Do what YOU can. Other people do what they can. Everyone cleans up their tiny corner. Everyone pulls the tiny lever they can pull. We all do this. Don't you see? That's the *point*. We all have to do what small things we can. Do not despair. Do not, I beg of you, despair.

Keir Starmer, the future prime minister, explicitly saying that trans women don’t have the right to use women’s toilets, which we have always been using, is giving the green light for people to harass us and do violence to us, as well as to cis women deemed not feminine enough. Don’t vote Labour.

Calls to expand the Supreme Court inherently misunderstand the problem. The solution to a problem should never be more of the problem. The solution should be to eliminate the problem.
